Last Thursday was a good day for Carmel (Ind.) shooting guard Stuart Douglass, one in which he took yet another unofficial visit to Michigan and toured the facilities. Tuesday night, Sept. 11, though, was even better. That's the night Douglass received a much-anticipated offer from Michigan head coach John Beilein, accepting less than a half hour later after discussing it with his parents.

Douglass joined AAU Indiana Elite Orange this spring but didn't get off the kind of start he and his coaches had envisioned, coach Kyle Simpson noted. But after a rough April, Douglass followed with a May that had coaches everywhere asking to find out more about him.
